Random Thoughts
Well its been 10 days since my surgery and these are my thoughts so far.
1. It has been better in many ways then I thought it would be, no vomiting, no nausea, no gas pains, no bathroom issues,
2. It has been harder in that I still want to eat, I miss food! I feel depressed and so much of my social life revolved around food and drinks I not sure how to balance the changes with being in those situations.
3. I am off work for two more weeks and don't have the energy I want to exercise and getting some small projects done while I am home. I feel like my butt has been glued to my recliner and have started to go a bit stir crazy.
4. I have not been drinking enough water or exercising enough.
5. I have lost 22 pounds since I started my preop diet a month ago. I stalled at a week out from my surgery and the scale hasn't budged in a few days.
6. I didn't hide the fact that I was having weight loss surgery so I feel like when I do start back to work and being out in public everyone will expect me to have dropped a ton of weight. That is what my boss asked me a few days after the surgery "have you lost a ton of weight?"
Changes to make:
1. Exercise 30-60 minutes of walking or exercise bike a day.
2. Weight resistance exercise 30-60 minutes a day.
3. Plan out snacks and meals and water and track on MFP.
4. Plan out projects to work on while I am home.
Hopefully with these changes I will see the scale move once again and feel less depressed
